Saturn aspects to Inner Planets  Lonely Childhood

Sun-Saturn aspects in the birth chart - Sun conjunct Saturn, Sun square Saturn, Sun opposite Saturn to a lesser degree Sun sextile Saturn, Sun trine Saturn

People who were forbidden from expressing their true nature and conditioned as a product of parental ideals and unmet dreams, a product of secrecy or shame, or were forced to play the role of one of the parents can become accustomed to wearing the mask of a person who is substantially more confident, self-assured, and sure of themselves than they are, sometimes it can be exaggerated to the degree that they seem overly egotistical or refuse to admit their flaws or mistakes because they are so afraid of bruising an already beaten ego

Moon-Saturn aspects in the birth chart - Moon conjunct Saturn, Moon square Saturn, Moonopposite Saturn to a lesser degree Moon sextile Saturn, Moon trine Saturn

People who were denied as children from emotional validation or demonstration, exposed to caregivers who were emotionally cold and disengaged, very dualistic and double sided, and were neglected in some form due to their parent’s unresolved emotional issues can be overly theatrical and demonstrative in their emotional gestures because they feel it necessary to be as loud and disruptive as possible to get any sort of emotional response they need from the person - they are conditioned to go to the extreme in order to receive little

Mercury-Saturn aspects in the birth chart - Mercury conjunct Saturn,Mercury square Saturn, Mercury opposite Saturn to a lesser degree Mercury sextile Saturn, Mercury trine Saturn

People who were bought up as children with the attitude of ‘children should not be seen or heard’ or were frequently silenced, ridiculed for their questions or answers, or denied of a voice can be dominant in conversation, mystifyingly long winded in explanation, or regularly cut people off. They are desperate to ensure their message is being communicated

Venus-Saturn aspects in the birth chart - Venus conjunct Saturn,Venus square Saturn, Venus opposite Saturn to a lesser degree Venus sextile Saturn, Venus trine Saturn

People who were denied as children from reciprocal displays of affection and shown to be loved, exposed to parental dynamics that lacked intimacy, or where love and attention was given and taken with conditions can have an endless pit of need for affection, physical and verbal validation that they are worthy or desired, and attract relationships that mirror the parent they want to re-create the ideal circumstance with

Mars-Saturn aspects in the birth chart - Mars conjunct Saturn, Marssquare Saturn, Mars opposite Saturn to a lesser degree Mars sextile Saturn, Mars trine Saturn

People who as children were forced to compete for attention or recognition, bound into engaging in futile battle or relentless defence against an adult(s) opponent with a substantially unfair advantage in every possible way, and imposed into harsh, gruelling, and brutal competition and training regimes can be very resistant to any form of discipline or authority as adults, refusing to maintain a schedule or force themselves to do anything – they have already expended enough energy on ensuring their place of parental pride. They can have immense difficulty figuring out a direction and take every behaviour to compulsion because they never learned how to manage with under activity or lack of demands

Jupiter-Saturn aspects in the birth chart - Jupiter conjunct Saturn, Jupiter square Saturn, Jupiter opposite Saturn to a lesser degree Jupiter sextile Saturn, Jupiter trine Saturn

People who as children were subjected to very bleak perspectives and strict religious teachings, doomsday or apocalyptical philosophies, and depressive episodes from one or both of the parents can be normalised into believing that emotions can only be regulated through external consumptions such as sex or alcohol, there is no purpose in existence regardless, their self-destructive or self-fatalistic thoughts and feelings, and frequent loss of hope for the future, existence, and sense of significance are unremarkable and experienced by everybody

What it is

紫微斗数 [zǐwēidòushù], or Purple Star Astrology, is one of the two main forms of ancient Chinese astrology (the other is 四柱命理 [shēngché bāzì], also called Four Pillars of Destiny or just BaZi). It was mainly used to tell someone’s fortune and maximize their luck and success by looking at their talents and their struggles, both those given by birth and those for specific years or decades. With that, it is commonly referred to as fortune-telling and, wrongfully, a divination art. Purple Star Astrology is a Destiny study and can thus belongs into the Destiny category of the Five Arts in Chinese Metaphysics. It uses the Lunisolar calender and includes leap years/intercalary months and the new moon. In ancient times, it was, in big parts, only accessible by the royal family/the emperors.

Components

There are two different Schools of  紫微斗数: One, Flying Star/Si Hua, which utilizes 14 major stars and 4 transformation stars/energies, and San He, which makes use of about 30 to 108 stars. Nowadays, most practioners combine both. Regardless of which school one uses, the Natal Chart is made up of 12 Destiny Courts, also referred to as Palaces (I will further explain those in another post). The Courts can be compared to the 12 Houses in Western Astrology, although they mostly have different themes and are more straightforward in what they govern. Furthermore, the brightness of each star is taken into account as well as the interactions between the courts/stars in the courts. This is what a  紫微斗数 Natal Chart can look like:

(You can calculate yours here.)

The chart seen above is a Heaven Chart [天盘]. In 紫微斗数 , there are 3 (major) Chart Types. I will talk about these in more detail in another post, but to sum it up:

This philosophical trinity concept is that of San Cai [三才] which describes the powers of the cosmos. The definitons greatly depend on the different philosophical schools, but the most common idea is that a person as well as their life and destiny are made up/dependant on 3 factors: Heavenly predetermined destiny and luck, earth (environment, nurture), and man (nature, though changeable).

In  紫微斗数, the Heaven Chart [天盘] is basically the Natal Chart.

The Earth Chart [地盘] shows the Decade Chart. It is used to predict the events and nature of a specified decade in the native’s life.

The Man Chart [人盘] shows the Yearly Chart. It is used to predict the events and nature of a specified year in the native’s life.

There’s also the Small Period Chart [小限] which doesn’t belong to the Trinity concept but is used to predict events within a smaller time frame/measure.

What it is for/How it can be used

紫微斗数 is not used for personality study as the most commonly used form of (western) astrology is.  Instead it is, as already mentioned above, a destiny study. It focuses on telling the native about their pre-determined fate and luck as well as about that of decades, years, and other time frames to help build a successful and prosperous life. It can, for example, show things like

where we are naturally lucky

what we naturally struggle with/where we’re unlucky 

where we will be most likely to find the most money, 

how our relationships and health will be like

what careers we are suited for

how we can obtain happiness

how many children one will have

As it was originally used to help the emperors lead their nation to success, it is a guide that helps to maximize one’s luck if utilized in that way. While it is not definite, it is highly accurate in its predicitions and can thus easily be used in a great array of different situations - be it in choosing one’s path, building one’s team for a project at work, or something completely different.
